The Ramos are one of the smallest sub-groups of the Adi Tribe of Arunachal Pradesh, inhabiting the Menchuka Circle of Menchuka Sub-division in Shi Yomi District. In some places, they are mixed with the Bokars in Monigong circle, and in some with the Pailibos in Tato circle. Ramos are very proud to claim a distinct identity and to differentiate themselves from the other tribes like the Bokars and Pailibos. They are a small group of people having their own culture and identity, customs and institutions.

Like most tribal people in the world, the Ramos do not have a written history or have not recorded their history and culture. The sub-group was less exposed to the outside world for several decades. The area has also been rarely visited by anthropologists in the past. Colonial rule had a very limited impact on them, which resulted on limitation of written records on the subgroup. Some studies generate basic data of the tribe, but we do not get satisfactory, detailed information. The study of the sub-group deserves attention from the scholar from a historical point of view. Nevertheless, the Ramos have preserved their past through memory in the form of oral traditions. Ramos possesses rich oral traditions embedded in their various myths, legends, folklores, ballads, etc. It is in this background that the present work seeks to trace the various myths, legends and traditions relating to their origin and migration. In order to construct their past history on migration, we have to rely on the oral traditions, which are to be corroborated with available works on the subgroup.
